Hi. My name is Mark and I just purchased a 1969 Mustang Grande Coupe with a 302-2v. This is my second Mustang and my first complete project car. Anyway just saying hi and including some pics. I picked up the car for a little over 3 grand. I have a lot of the trim pieces in a box to add on after repaint, but I am missing some and will be on the lookout for them in the future.

Here are my pics:

Hi mark,

Your coupe looks like its in about the same condition as mine is/was when i bought it. Except you actually have some nice looking deluxe interior and a rim blow steering wheel! I paid the same for mine and its going to be completed finally here real soon. Well cosmetically completed all the rest is already there the paint is tired as well as the interior. Looks like you have a real nice car to work with.

Yeah, looks like you got a good start up though, I'd guess the PO started with the interior and just lost interest? Looks like some interesting things have gone on in the engine bay as well, giant bypass on the heater hoses and a windshield fluid bottle doubling as a coolant overflow? I suspect you'll find all kinds of home remedies on this car as you tear thru it, things that make you go hmmmmmm.

Good luck, enjoy!

Yea, I have already removed two of the three layers of seatcovers and one layer of foam off the driver's seat. It used to be an A/C'd car, but the PPO (Pre-previous owner) removed it too. Just one of the things on the list :oops: I still have the original blue ford air cleaner, but I want an open air cleaner when I go to finish. blah blah blah.....
